Very important question. Who is independent from whom?
Are the Living Stream Ministry affiliated churches independent from the Body of Christ? They would not say so, but their actions indicate otherwise.
This federation of churches would not fellowship with churches that are not affiliated with Living Stream Ministry. Look at the Church in Moses Lake or the Church in Rosemead. Or any other local church that was affiliated with Living Stream in past tense.
On the surface Living Stream Ministry affiliated Local Churches are in fact ministry churches. Their fellowship is based on receiving of a particular ministry from a specific publisher. Apart from the ministry there can be no fellowship. Which is why Living Stream Ministry affiliated Local Churches conduct themselves as if they are independent from the Body of Christ.
